I have a 2010 cadillac dts. Being 1500 miles from home with a leaking head gasket does not make for a enjoyable vacation. A local mechnic in St. Petersburg,Florida said the car was doomed but he had heard about a expensive repair available only on line. I searched and found Thermaweld and what a godsend it has been. I called and talked to Dave and through our conversation he confirmed that Thermaweld would solve my problem. I ordered the Northstar kit and it arrived in 2 days. By then the antifreeze had leaked into a cylinder and now the engine was HYDROLOCKED! This required removing the spark plugs to clear this conditionand re-install them to get the engine running again. Then I followed Robert and Daves instructions to install this kit and the car is running again! I will be driving back to Chicago later this month and will send a progress report. Dave and Robert are experts and their follow-up proves they are sincerely interested in correcting these problems. I can't say "thank you" enough and will highly recommend them and their product.

Dave's Head Gasket Sealer is the one that really works. I tried K seal , Titan sealer.. both didn't work. I ordered Dave's sealer and arrived by mail. He called or texted to give the specific instructions for the sealer. I poured into the radiator after flushing it 3x. drove my car for about 1000 miles and checked the radiator. The water level did not change .... No more loss of coolant! Did not clog up the heater core or the cooling system. My car is a Honda Civic . Saved me at least 800 bucks for a head Gasket repair!! This works!!!

My Mercedes had a blow head gasket. Other estimates were in the thousands and I decided to try Ideal Head Gasket Repair. Not only were they extremely professional but also just a fraction of what I would have paid and the car is running as good as it was before. I highly recommend them.

So happy that I came across Dave's website. I was hesitant at first until I watched more of his videos and he explained how everything works. He came to my house and under 2 hours he fixed my headgasket on my 2011 Toyota prius. No more white smoke blowing out of the tailpipe. He's the guy to call before spending a big amount on a engine rebuild. Thanks Dave.

Dave was on time, very professional, explained what he was doing and even recorded it! He sure saved me a lot of money because a couple of mechanics gave me an estimate for a head gasket job so Dave's fix was definitely the way to go. I highly recommend talking to him first before you spend the big $$$ for a head gasket job in any shop.

Dave is a life saver! I bought a 2013 used Subaru Outback (with the beginnings of a blown head gasket) I didn’t check it closely. I was very skeptical it could be fixed but I was wrong. Dave got back to me quickly and took care of my car in the next couple of days since I live a few towns away (Santa Barbara). He came to me. After the repair, I followed his instructions and drove the car. And drove and drove and drove thinking it would not hold. The car is running like a champ. It’s been over a month and no less than 1,000 miles. I drove it from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles and back last week without turning off the car. No problems. Dave is a super nice guy to boot! Saved me a few thousand dollars.

After taking my car to other local auto repair shops I left confused on what repair I really needed. Dave diagnosed the problem right away and explained in detail what a blown head gasket was and how he would fix it. He was fast, efficient and my car runs better than ever!

Dave was amazing. He came out to Ventura and After I told him about the issue that Ford found in my car. He was able to tell what the problem was. He fixed the head gasket that was leaking. I was afraid I would spend a few thousand. But now with just a fraction of the cost, my car is running a lot smoother. The most important part of my experience was that he explained everything in detail and checked inn a few times to ensure my car is doing okay. You will not regret his services!

Dave spent time prior to his arrival to verify my vehicle was a candidate for head gasket repair. Once we set an appointment, he was prompt and professional. He offered maintenance tips. I would DEFINITELY use Dave's services again if the need ever arises with another vehicle.

I had to stop driving my car after discovering that water was leaking into the oil on my 2002 Malibu. It stay parked for quite some time. Not wanting to give up on the car for sentimental reasons, I found Dave and Ideal Head Gasket Repair online. Dave saved me over $1200 which would have been the cost of repairing it through a local shop. Dave came out to my home and was able to fix my car on sight. He arrived right on time, was very knowledgeable, professional, and was very quick to reply to calls and texts concerning questions I had. It’s been about.a year and my car has been running better than ever thanks to Dave and his Themalweld treatment. I highly recommend giving Ideal Head Gasket Repair a call if you’re ever in need of their services. They’re honest, reliable, prompt, fair, and everything you’d expect in a car repair business.

I just had a second vehicle repaired with this service. About a 1 ½ years ago I had my Toyota 4-Runner head gasket repaired by Ideal Services. After 16,000 miles, still running great, no overheating. My Daughters car overheated two weeks ago & she blew the head gasket. Dave came out and fixed the car in about 3 hours. He also diagnosed what caused it to overheat. I am glad I kept his number. We saved over $1500. I would recommend this service to anyone. Robert

I run an auto repair shop (Pro-Masters) in Oxnard Ca. and have been using Ideal Head Gasket Repair for over a year. They were recommended to me by another repair shop. I’ve had 5 cars and 3 trucks repaired so far, with no failures. All of the vehicles are still on the road and my customers are very happy. I offer this repair option to my customers when the mileage is very high or the cost to replace a head gasket is too expensive. The work is guaranteed or there is no charge. It usually takes less than 3 hours to complete. I highly recommend this service. I’ve seen the smoke coming out from the tail pipe where a head gasket is taking in water and with my own eyes seen the truck from running rough to a smooth idle in maybe 30 to 45 minutes. It’s been more then a year since the work was don’t on the truck it’s still running like if the head gasket never blown.

Dave did a great job repairing the Camry I had. The car was overheating as the head gasket went out. I decide to give Dave a call and try it out. It was definitely worth the price. His repair took less than an hour, the car ran super smooth with no problems. It definitely saved me a lot of money and he was great at following up. I would definitely give him call.

My wife’s Infinity G37 had apparently developed a leak in a coolant hose that created a overheating problem and ultimately a blown Head Gasket. The car was towed to a local Auto Repair in Ventura where we were quoted $4,500 to repair. Not only was that expensive, particularly for a 10 year old car but additionally it was going to take a week before we’d have her car back. It was suggested by a friend that I call Dave at Ideal Head Gasket Repair and even the owner of the mechanical shop said he’d heard of great results with Ideals product and process. So, I contacted Dave. People let me tell you, if you don’t call here first your wasting both your time and money, it that simple. Dave knows more then anybody else I talked to about this process. He came to the car and very throughly explained what he could do then proceeded to exceed my expectations by performing a professional well thought out repair. Spoiler alert in the end the repair was a huge success. We’ve driven the car to Santa Barbara now and it runs as good as new and at a fraction of the cost for a replacement head gasket and done in an hour. Dave at Ideal Head Gasket Repair should be considered an essential service. Five big stars for a job well done, thanks Dave.

Have to say a big Shout out to Dave at Ideal Head gasket repair. It was a pleasure having him repair my Ford CMax head gasket. His fast and reliable service was excellent. I was impressed with his ability to diagnose and fix the problem with great speed and efficiency. It’s great to know a local mechanic that is reliable and trustworthy and affordable. He saved me stress and time. I would recommend to anyone that has an issue with their engine gaskets to go directly to him. His mobile service was very helpful and he made my day stress free. Thanks again Dave you rock. You’re in good hands with this man. Don’t go anywhere else without speaking to him first. Mark G

Dave really stands by his product, and he knows the system. The results speak volumes. Sometimes a conventional head gasket repair doesn't make sense for an older vehicle, or one can not afford the repair. You have nothing to lose trying his guaranteed service.

An enormous THANK YOU to Dave and team at Ideal Head Gasket Repair! I was in such a bind with seemingly no options available (except the reeeaally expensive one). Came across IHGR as I was scouring the web for solutions. Made the call, Dave was at my house the next morning, and in a little over an hour, head gasket issue completely resolved. No knocking, no white smoke, no overheating. Simply couldn't believe it. It's been over a month so far, no issues at all. The man knows his stuff! Thank you Dave!!

Dave came to my rescue. I had gotten 3 estimates to replace the head gasket on my 2010 Prius. All over $3,000, I was stuck, couldn’t afford any of them. Then I discovered Dave in a AI search. He came to me, changed $425 and had my car humming, no misfiring and no exhaust smoke, my problem was solved. Thanks Dave
